Two horses were trotting, they pranced and they ranEach one was commanded by a Cavalry manTwo horses stood grazing, where their dead riders layA Union mare and a Confederate grey

They nuzzled each other, they teased and had funThey bathed in the warm rays of the old Southern sunNo more senseless orders for them to obeySo they acted like lovers, this mare and this grey

Now these are such sad times, that we're all living inFor killing your brother is the mughtiest sinHow happy we'd be, if we acted the wayOf the Union mare and the Confederate grey

Two horses were trotting, they pranced and they ranEach one was commanded by a Cavalry manTwo horses stood grazing, where their dead riders layThe Union mare and the Confederate greyThe Union mare and the Confederate grey
